Because the first half of it is from the 2.0 version of the ride and the remaining parts of the loop is the musical scores of Flubber and Honey I Blew Up the Kid..

I wish there were was more to this grand opening than the 39 seconds of confusement..

I wanna hear from the people who attended this thing irl & then went into experience it immediately after. I’ve always called it the Houghton Mifflin ceremony because of the terrible projections on the pyramids. Y2K nightmare fuel

The opening footage being lost media only adds to how mysterious JIYI is. Don’t get me wrong, JIYI is an awful attempt at a update to the original, but the fact that there’s little to no information about it’s development, design, construction, or hell it’s opening ceremony makes the ride a complete enigma. It’s honestly kinda cool finding rare information about this turd of a ride

Honestly, I’d find it interesting to hear and find out more regarding the development of the 2002 “fix” myself aswell. I only know bits and pieces like who the show producer was and such. But that’s it. Not much else.

I’m a huge sucker for anything lost media, & frankly JII & it’s three renditions are no stranger to the phenomena. There are zero production photos I’ve seen of JIYI, only a few things have surfaced including the bizarre animations done for the finale of the attraction and this opening ceremony. You’d think someone would’ve recorded the full ceremony amongst everyone in the crowd

So here’s something I just realized that no one else seems to have taken notice of.. so you know how the Dr. Channing moon face projection is a callback to Horizons in the current one? Well.. “the Figment’s commute to the institute” light up footprints making our way to the Friends of Figment Blast finale, that’s a callback to the light up caveman footprints from the beginning of the World of Motion. Didn’t even think of it til now.

What’s up with this DVC ImaginAtrium thing? Guess the lounge will be sticking around for a little while longer 
although the updated paint scheme & the archival photos exhibit give me some hope.
Looks like they’re repainting the interior as well, hopefully by some miracle that also includes the exterior’s original color scheme making a comeback.

Every day, we hear tiresome and frustrating news about Trash Iger’s mismanagement eroding Disney’s legacy. It seems like they find something negative to do daily... It’s also baffling how Disney seems to hate their fans. Why not just leave that small Easter egg in a bathroom that almost no one even knows about? Meanwhile, Universal appears to cherish their mega-fans and honors past attractions, while Disney obviously doesn't care about us.

On one hand, I seethe at the idea of the Rainbow Corridor placed behind a paywall.EPCOT DVC Member Lounge to Transform into Disney Vacation Club ImaginAtrium - DVC Shop

On the other, perhaps this is a wind up to start adding assets so when the attraction is reimagined, there are already some interactive things upstairs that went on the DVC budget instead of the main budget?

On one hand I’m a little intrigued and I like the sound of there being some sort of vintage memorabilia exhibit. I’m also hoping the new paint scheme extends beyond the interior and onto the exterior, but that’s just wishful thinking.
The optimistic side of me is saying this is a part of a longer term plan to upgrade all facilities within the pavilion, commemorating in JIIWF’s eventual overhaul. The other, likelier scenario, is Disney wanting to entice more people to purchase DVC.

Future World's Hidden VIP Lounges — Rob Yeo Design
Ever since I first heard of Epcot’s VIP Lounges, they have fascinated me; it’s like finding out you have a secret room in the back of your closet. Even people who know Epcot inside and out may never realise that right under their noses, behind a nondescript door, lie secret areas waiting to be expl
